Electronic Arts hasn't published a college basketball video game since releasing NCAA Basketball (formerly NCAA March Madness) 10 in 2009. Since that time, there has been a void in the sports video gaming world thanks in part to rival 2K Sports discontinuing their own college hoops game in 2008.
Despite what seems like a quiet demand for a new entry in either dormant franchise, neither company seem all that interested in filling that gap. That doesn't mean, of course, that the possibility isn't there. In fact, a pair of game producers at EA Sports have even spoken in favor of their college basketball video game franchise someday returning.
Following the release of EA Sports FC 24, the publisher seems to have removed FIFA 14 up to 22 from major digital storefronts.
“Virtual Creations” from Nike's .swoosh WEB3 Platform will be integrated into EA titles.
Nike has struck a deal with Electronic Arts that paves the way for the introduction of NFTs to the publisher’s sports games.
You gotta love EA. They've always got their finger on the pulse of the gaming community in regards to the wants and desires of the players /s
EA: We need a new way to be voted the worst company
Nike: Have you tried child slave labor? No?... well how about a Jordan NFT. We will even throw in Chinese LeBron NFTs for free!
Can they even read the room? The world wide gaming room filled with gamers. No one wants this. They know they will probably get away with putting NFTs in their sport games.
How could they not know this is the wrong ass move. If EA survive this which they will, they are seriously untouchable. Too many casuals play their games and dont know what happening or even give a dam
How is Nike still surviving?
People talk about justice this justice that but are so self absorbed that they will continue to support these companies so they can have their neat little things.
At the end of the day , everything the plebs say is all a lie.
EA Sports is proposing a 10% revenue share for universities who agree to be in their College Football video game set to be released in July 2024. Schools who choose to participate will receive guaranteed payouts of between $10,000 and $100,000 per year.
Good idea but I expect the NCAA and college boards to swipe away all that money for themselves.
This means 2 things
1.Ultimate Team is Confirmed
2.They have some competition from another Studio
Bro, pay as much as you need to and don't be greedy, cuz I NEED my college football game back 🤣
It was the ONLY sports game I bought annually
It might just be me but I'm glad to see a franchise not get rehashed every single year. Release one game with constant roster updates for each season.
Want want want want want want want want!
